D*ate: Sunday, January 22, 2012*
*Location: Dallas Convention Center (DCC), Room D168*
*Time: 4:00 pm -- 5:30 pm*
Description: Large aggregated packages of journals that publishers offer
to libraries for hefty subscription fees, otherwise known as the Big
Deal, have become commonplace in libraries. While they offer the
advantage of purchasing large numbers of titles at a discount,
librarians have become increasingly disenchanted with them because of
their high cost and the inability to add or drop titles from the
package. Pay per view subscription models offer an alternative that
allows librarians to pay only for those articles that their users view.
This program examines the pay per view model from the perspective of
both the publisher and of librarians who have implemented it. The
advantages and disadvantages of per view are discussed along with an
exploration of where the pay per view model is headed and what its long
term prospects might be.
The Forum will be moderated by Anne Okerson. Anne Okerson combines
experience in academic library management, the commercial sector, and as
senior/ founding program officer for Scholarly Communications at the
Association of Research Libraries in Washington, DC. In 1996, Okerson
organized the Northeast Research Libraries consortium (NERL), a group of
28 large and over 80 smaller libraries negotiating for electronic
information and engaging occasionally in other co-operative activities.
With special funding, she and her staff mounted Liblicense, an online
educational resource about library licensing of electronic content. Its
extensive annotations and links are complemented by an international
discussion group of over 3,800 librarians, publishers and attorneys. She
has done training of librarians around the world, both in forming
consortia and in licensing. After 15 years as Associate Director at Yale
Library, she took up a position (October1st) as Special Advisor on
E-Resource Strategies for the Center for Research Libraries (Chicago).
She is active in IFLA, most recently as member of the Governing Board
and Chair of the Professional Committee.
